Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center Fellowships 2025-2026 for Scholars and Writers

The Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers offers Fellowships 2025-2026 to people whose work will benefit directly from access to the research collections at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street. Renowned for the extraordinary comprehensiveness of its collections, the Library is one of the world’s preeminent resources for study in anthropology, art, geography, history, languages and literature, philosophy, politics, popular culture, psychology, religion, sociology, sports, and urban studies.

The Cullman Center looks for top-quality writing. It aims to promote dynamic communication about literature and scholarship at the very highest level—within the Center, in public forums throughout the Library, and in the Fellows’ published work. The Center may give up to five Fellowships a year in conjunction with the American Council of Learned Societies. Candidates for joint Fellowships must submit separate applications to The New York Public Library and to the American Council of Learned Societies.
